Two high-achieving Westerville City Schools seniors received Honda-OSU Math Medal Awards from a partnership between Honda of America Manufacturing Inc. and The Ohio State University. Westerville recipients are Brooke Schroeder, Westerville Central High School; and Mia Hoffman, Westerville North. The award honors the top senior mathematics student in 245 high schools in southwest and central Ohio.
This is the 13th anniversary of the central region Math Medal awards, presented by the Honda-OSU Partnership, a university-industry partnership that supports programs in education and research to benefit the transportation industry. This year, 123 seniors from 15 counties in central and western Ohio received the academic award.
A total of 112 of the honorees attended the central region ceremony on November 3 at Honda of America Manufacturing in Marysville. Recognized as their school’s top math student in the Class of 2017, each student received a pewter math medal, plaque and $100 gift card from Honda and Ohio State’s College of Engineering.
In addition, the math medal award comes with a $3,000 scholarship opportunity at Ohio State’s College of Engineering for the 2017-2018 academic year. Over the past 12 years, 150 Math Medal recipients have gone on to receive the $3,000 scholarship at Ohio State’s College of Engineering.
